| Description of the problem | Anti-lock brake issue in five months i have had to replace two abs modules/units. I first noticed my brakes getting spongy in late 2016, that's when the first abs was replaced. Although this fixed the issue for a couple weeks, i then started to notice that my brakes were locking, when not applying the brakes. I returned to the repair shop which lead to new components on my brakes(pads front and rear, calipers rotors. Etc.) because of the wear. All were replaced. Then the situation happened again when my teenage son was driving. Under acceleration, the brakes started applying pressure, which the engine had to compensate for. After taking it in to be repaired again, that is when the second abs unit was replaced. This was after three days of trouble-shooting. I feel this is a safety issues, and i have spent an exhaustive amount of money on this one issue. I can only assume also, that because of braking, while i was accelerating, there will be more issues down the road. Please advise. Thank you. |
